There are 500 men at work on the Port Townsend Southern railway
about 300 of whom are on the new grade. The bridging is almost completed
to Hood's canal. A trestle one-third of a mile long is nearly finished and
track laying will be commenced inside of two weeks, weather permitting. A
great deal of heavy riprapping has been done at the head of Port Townsend
bay, where the grade was washed out last winter by the heavy tides. The
road at Discovery bay passes over the mouth of a tunnel 100 feet deep, lead
ing into a copper mine which was worked for a time but which did not prove
profitable, owing to the imperfect facilities for getting the product to market.
The historical society of Montana has accepted the legislative act making
the body a state institution. The governor, attorney general and secretary of
state will now be numbered among the trustees. The society becomes the
stale's trustee for the collection and preservation of all mementoes and every
thing relating to the history of Montana and the Northwest, and receives
from the state $750 a year, the librarian's salary to be $600 a year. The
society's property now includes letters and diaries of pioneers, biographies of
hunters, trappers and traders, who lived in Montana prior to the discovery of
gold, history of Indian campaigns of Baker, Crook, Custer and Howard, por
traits, relics, canoes, maps, etc.
Port Angeles is to be connected with the Port Townsend & Southern
railway by a branch from Port Discovery bay northward. The branch will
be known as the Port Angeles Southern and will be under its own manage
ment. The survey has been completed and construction will be begun soon.
There is a scheme on foot for giving Victoria, B. C, a railway outlet by way
of Port Angeles. The details have not yet been made public, as to the man
ner of crossing the straits, but Victoria seems willing to give a large bonus
to any one who will bring trains into the city from the mainland, either via.
Port Angeles or from British territory. One man agrees to do the work for
a bonus of $400,000. Previously the city had talked about giving $1 ,000,000.
The decision of the treasury dertment allowing domestic goods to be
shipped from the Eastern states to Spokane via the Canadian Pacific railroad,
the Columbia river and the Spokane & Northern railroad, has demonstrated
to the treasury officials the need of a custom house or examining station at the
Little Dalles, the only American port touched by the river boats after leaving
Revelstoke, B. C. The customs officials in the state of Washington have
been notified to take steps to place a collector at the Little Dalles as soon as
possible. This is an official promulgation of the fact that the Little Dalles is
a port of entry. Satisfactory arrangements are expected to be made between
the government and the railroad, so that freights can be examined at the Little
Dalles wilh as little delay as possible.
THE PAYETTE VALLEY RAILWAY.
The survey from Caldwell to the Payette canyon for a railroad has been
completed. A most feasible route was found. It is fifteen miles shorter
from the mouth of Succor creek to the canyon than the North & South sur
vey, and the maximum grade is but forty-four feet to the mile, while on the
former survey it is sixly-six feet. A company called the De Lamar, Caldwell
& Payette Valley railroad, is being formed, with a capital stock of $3,000,000.
It is divided into shares ol $10 each, and a large number of shares have al
ready been taken. There is no doubt but that this survey will become valu
able, as it is the best and shortest route to the forests of the Payette. It is
far ahead of the survey of the Idaho North & South railroad, not only saving
fifteen miles, but lowering the maximum grade twenty-two feet to the mile.
The scheme is to organize the company, incorporate and file all necessary
papers, and then when the North & South railroad is built, to meet them half
way. This survey practically settles the question as to where the North &
South will cross the Short Line. The original survey made them cross nine
miles below town, but this new route is far superior, and there is no doubt
but that it will be accepted when the road is built. Just so sure as the North
& South railroad is built, it will cross the Oregon Short Line at Caldwell.
We have the key to the situation. The new company will perfect organiza
tion in a day or two. CaMwrfl, Idaho, Tritium.
